We recently had a similar discussion here. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anything like that in the FOSS space. But maybe I'll be proven wrong.
That's a shame :/ just majority of these apps are filled with spyware or ads and the websites although are less worse than the apps most block when using a VPN which is annoying. Just want to see the premier league results in peace ๐คฃ. Thanks for helping will give any update if there is an app like this :)
The usual thing, huh? I can't understand how people can live with that. It's really sad that this is the norm.
Yeah bit depressing it is the norm. Won't be the norm for me though!
What about an RSS-Feed App?
Half works tbh for giving info on a linear scale saying team 1 played team 2 score:2-1 but I'd like to see other info like a table and to view other peoples leauges and check future matches times etc. Think I will have to use RSS for now. Shame there isn't a Foss sports app though it would be a game changer!
bbc or the guardian website work fine without javascript if all you want is to check scores fixtures and tables. I still use r/soccer through rss feed
So say if I was using the BBC website and removed the JavaScript, and then converted that into a RSS feed would that be possible on android. (Sorry if that's a stupid question)
you can view it in your browser using ublock origin to disable javascript by default. bbc does not provide rss feed so you would have to convert the html page to xml format in order to display it in your feed reader
Will give a go thanks!
